Graphite brushes for the new pattern blend modes

Resources Brushes and Bundles
21

I think I’m doing something wrong. I’ve tried your brushes, but I don’t get anything close to the preview.
they completely lack the texture part and the graphite block does not even have pressure, it’s just full on or nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: also tilt doesn’t seem to change the size.
I’m running the latest stable Krita version (5.1.1)

Ok I thin I sorted it out myself. Clicking on a different texture and then back to the original one did bring back the textures. They were much bigger though, so I had to tweak size a bit, but they are not much closer to your preview.
Tilt is still not working, but that might be my tablet (XP-Pen Innovator 16). Tilt works fine in general though.

@hulmanen AS a subtract and multiply mode fan. I am starting to create new things with new blending modes. What would you be interested in? by the way very good brushes and ideas. Thanks.

But I still have the doubt, what can give me these new blending mores, that i can’t see yet.

I think i get the same with subtract and a bit of tweaking in parameters.
The strength i changed to linear preset. i need to investigate this more

You can see how subtract here can be pretty simmilar.

@RamonM for me, the big difference was that subtract leaves midtones in the brushstroke while the height modes work more with “pure” grain, so it feels more like, for example, a pencil would to me. You can see this in the examples you provide - the subtract example has more of a soft, gradient-y feel.

Now, whether that matters is a separate issue of course :sweat_smile:

think it helps when you do find something is off about a brush and just futzing around with different presets helps. I do think lineart is pretty unique

These feel great. I didn’t realize I missed drawing overhand.

There seems to be a problem with the bundle file? I’m currently running on Krita 5.2.10 and when I Import the resources, only the brush tip chisel dense smear gets added, and not the Triangle grain. Also only the Graphite presets block (No pressure), soft and creamy is added and not Graphite Hard.
